Swiss financial services company on the move in Leeds

Wealth management specialist, Julius Baer, is taking 2,255 sq ft at CEG’s Globe Point development in Leeds on a 10-year lease.

The relocation to CEG’s flagship development was driven by the building’s eco-credentials, with Julius Baer seeking an all-electric, low-carbon workspace. The fit out of its first-floor office will deliver a best-in-class Leeds base.

Globe Point provides 37,000 sq ft of space over seven storeys. The flexible workspace maximises natural daylight with its flat iron design. It is recognised with a BREEAM In-Use Outstanding rating and achieved a NABERS designed reviewed target rating of 4.5 Stars.

CEG delivered Globe Point in 2022 as the first phase of its Temple development within the Leeds South Bank. Grace Lewis, investment manager at CEG, said: “Julius Baer shares CEG’s sustainability commitments and Globe Point ticks all the right boxes. One of the most sustainable buildings in Leeds, it provides exceptionally high-quality workspace and a convenient location just minutes from Leeds City Station.

“It’s great to welcome the Julius Baer team to this thriving business community. Globe Point is now almost fully let with one floor available, along with part of the first floor.”

The wealth management company joins international law firms Gowling WLG and Reed Smith, brand design agency Robot Foods, marketing and data science company Jaywing, and Specialist Computer Centres (SCC) part of the global Rigby Group. Eleven delivers the 65-cover ground floor café bar at Globe Point.

Letting agents Fox Lloyd Jones and Knight Frank market the space on CEG’s behalf. JLL managed the deal on behalf of Julius Baer.

Harry Finney, from Fox Lloyd Jones, said: “We are delighted to have secured yet another high-profile occupier at Globe Point. The outstanding sustainability credentials of the building have been a key factor in attracting tenants that prioritise environmental responsibility alongside premium facilities & building amenity.

“This milestone reflects the continued appeal of Globe Point as a benchmark for modern, sustainable workspaces.”
